All or Nothing: Bringing balance to the achievement-oriented personality
USD $39.99High achievers often have ‘all-or-nothing’ personality styles, approaching life with dedication, determination and drive to succeed.

In this insightful, empowering book, psychologist Mike McKinney draws on his decades of experience to explore how balance can be brought to the all-or-nothing personality, whilst retaining its best qualities, to promote a more meaningful and rewarding life.
